This isn't a long chap, but at least it's an update.

The next few days at U.A. were probably the hardest ones that both Izuku and Katsuki could have. The next week or so had consisted of nothing but pure combat scenario's. Like real ones where they had to actually fight one another.

So to say that Katsuki had taken one for the team, would be a gross understatement.

He'd been paired up with another classmate on a team of two, who were supposed to act as villains. Whereas Izuku had gotten paired off with some rosey cheeked girl with a gravity quirk. Which...was nice, the boy supposed.

However it hadn't stopped the inevitable.

He knew that it was over for him when the 'gravity' girl had split up from Izuku and left her vulnerable. Now normally, the gruff, temperamental, and violent boy would have chased his Deku off and not felt too badly about it. After all, she was quirkless. And as much as a bully he could be sometimes- he generally tended to chase her away from things that could hurt her. It was his way of trying to protect her. Even if she didn't realize/appreciate it any.

However since this was a combat scenario and Izuku was currently carrying precious cargo- there was only two choices laid out before him.

Capture her. Or...surrender.

He went with surrender because capturing her at this moment in time would prove to be a serious pain in his ass. Especially since she had that stubborn yet grim look of determination on her pretty face.

So when the two of them met up to 'fight' he took one look at her face and promptly said, "Damn you're cute when you're determined." And then put his hands up and said, much to not only his disbelief, but hers and everyone observing them as well. "Take me, I'm yours."

Deku, understandably got irked at him once she realized what he was doing. And tried to pick a fight with him by shouting at him for thinking with his dick.

But he just gave her a salacious grin and sauntered over to her and before she could even react, caught her around the waist and pulled her in close and laid a nice wet one on her, right on the lips. And got himself punched in the stomach the second that she managed to shake her shell shock.

Katsuki would say this for his Deku, she hit far harder than he'd expected she would. But no matter. At least now he was out of the fight and she was safe.

So that made the discomfort he currently felt well worth it.

He couldn't make up his mind between laughing, crying, or chastising the boy. For god's sake- what sort of future pro hero surrendered? Or worse, flirted, with their opponent.

And the way that he'd kissed young Midoriya…

Holy hell did he have a whole slew of mixed feelings about that. There was so much turbulent thoughts slithering through his mind right then that he couldn't figure out if he should congratulate the kid. Or take him out behind the school and beat the crap out of him.

The fact that young Midoriya had actually punched Bakagou for kissing her mollified him slightly. But not nearly enough not to punish the boy for the nonsense that he'd pulled in the training exercise.

Behind him the rest of the kids seemed to be of the same mind he was. He could hear them talking amongst themselves even without turning around.

"What the hell was that?" One girl asked in an aghast tone. As if she were having trouble understanding what they'd all just seen.

"The element of...uh...surprise?" A boy said lamely.

"Oh, it was a surprise alright," Another boy said, stifling a laugh. "Did you see that poor girls expression when Bakagou kissed her? She looked totally shocked."

"Maybe she didn't know that he likes her." Another girl said in amusement.

"I don't think Izuku is that oblivious." Another boy said.

And to an extent, he had a point. They hadn't had either kid in their class for very long, but they knew that Izuku was anything but totally oblivious to others and their feelings. Just like Bakagou wasn't generally the type to throw a fight in such a freakishly weird way.

The boy had far too much pride. And took his future career choice far too seriously to throw a genuine match like that just because he was pitted against a friend or loved one.

Sighing because he knew that he'd have to have a talk with the boy over this, he called the match and told the kids to come back to the control room.

It took another three hours for the rest of the kids to finish up with their training for the day. It was five minutes after the bell had rung to let classes out for the day and Izuku was still fuming over the stunt that Katsuki had pulled.

Sure she knew why he had done what he'd done during their training exercise. But that didn't mean that it stung her any less. After all, she had worked incredibly hard to just be accepted into U.A. And now- now...she felt as if she'd done all of it for absolutely nothing.

How am I supposed to become a hero if I can't do any real training? She wondered sadly as she absently lifted a hand to touch her stomach. Knowing that she couldn't exactly blame her baby for this mess. After all, it wasn't as if it had asked to be in this messed up situation anymore than she had.

She had already showered and changed back into her regular clothes and was now walking back to class to grab her things when she saw All Might pulling Katsuki aside.

Probably to talk with him about his sorry performance earlier.

Sighing, she decided to go on ahead of him since she knew that he likely wouldn't be in a very good mood once he was done being chewed out by his favorite hero.
